In Port Huron, a long-overlooked corner of Lakeside Cemetery is finally being recognized. For generations, hundreds of people—many poor and forgotten—rested in unmarked graves there. On May second, the Lakeside Paupers Cemetery Dedication Ceremony will honor them publicly for the first time. The one-hour event runs from ten to eleven a.m., featuring music, prayer and remarks from local leaders. A memorial stone, bench and new signage now mark the site after years of research led by resident Erik Wurmlinger. The ceremony will be livestreamed.
